After you’ve successfully gained Flashed The TWRP Recovery On Your Samsung Galaxy A9 Pro All That Is Left Is To Use It To Flash The SuperSU.zip File And You’ll Be Good To Go!

On Wards My Brave Soldiers! Download The SuperSU App From Google Play & SuperSU.zip From My Google Drive. The App Isn’t Important To The Process But I Figured You Download It Anyway…

Wait, What’s SuperSU?

Well If you know anything about rooting Android then you’ve probably heard of the app “SuperSU”. It’s a Root Permission Manager App. for those who don’t know, SuperSU in a nutshell, Is basically guard that allows or deny any app which wants to get Root Access.

You can’t let every app to gain root access Because Rooting your phone is a double edged sword. Some apps will use it to improve your phone’s performance / Interface while others may just use it to bring Unremovable Viruses. To prevent all that from happening we need a nice little guard which allows us to control which app we want to gain Root access and which we don’t. If you want to learn more about Rooting then you can check out this post.

Step 1: Download the SuperSu.zip From The Google Drive Button Above.

Step 2: Put It Somewhere Accessible Like The Download Folder Because You’re Going To Flash It Later.

Step 3: Boot Into Recovery Mode By Pressing and holding Volume Up, Home and PowerButtons simultaneously.

EXAPMLE: Tap On Install – TWRP Recovery

Step 5: After That, You’ll Open TWRP’s Built-In File Explorer. And You Know The Drill Lads, Browse Through It And Select The SuperSU.zip File You Downloaded Earlier.

EXAMPLE – How To Select A File To Flash – TWRP

NOTE: Of course, You’re Not Suppose To Flash The “XenonHD ROM.zip” It’s Just An Example ScreenShot I’ve Put There Just To Make Things Easier To Understand. You Need To Select The UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.46_AndroidCUT.zip And Flash It.

And BOOM One Last Reboot And Your Samsung Galaxy A9 PRO Is GOD DAMN ROOTED! Seriously, this post took me way longer to write than I expected it to be but It’s finally done! Also,

Part Seven: Confirming Root Access Via Root Checker

So after you’ve gone through all that, It’s time to see if your Samsung Galaxy A9 PRO is successfully Rooted or not. If you’ve tried Rooting your Device or any other phone, in general, Before. You’re probably familiar with the Root Checker App. If you’re a newbie however and don’t know what it is. It’s basically what it sounds like. It checks whether your device (In this case A9 PRO) has root access or not. It is 100% Accurate and I recommend this all the time to check if your phone is really rooted or not.

Step 1: Download the RootChecker app from the Google Play or Google Drive Buttons Above.

Step 2:Install & Open The App.

Step 3: On the main screen Tap the “Verify Root Access” button.

Root Checker Successful Screen EXAMPLE

Step 4: If you see a screen similar to this with Heading like “Congrats Your Device Is Rooted” Etc. Then…. Yay!… I guess.

If you, however, got the “Root Not Found” Screen with a Cross over your device name then my friend you need to repeat the “Odin” Part. Don’t worry if you failed for the first time. It happens to even Pros like me! So cheer up. And you can always ask me for help in the comment section if you want.

And That’s It!
